Ive been testing out the sea of green method (on a small scale 2 plants) its about 6 weeks into flowering using CFL on 12/12 Ive been feeding the plant shults plant food and a natural compost, the buds are all probably 3 cubic centimeters in size which seems rather small to me but are quite chrystaly any tips on promoting size in these buds?

Well your problem probably lies in your lighting, or how much fresh air you have circulating through your grow space.
How many watts are you throwing out for your plants? What kind of air exchange system do you have running? What's the size of your grow area??

I have to agree, it is most likely the CFL's. They don't pack on the same size and density as HID's. How many bulbs (watts) do you have over each plant?

don't bother with CO2. Increase your light intensity, increase airflow, and give your plants the food they need.

My god how did you do that with dixie cups? I got a 400w hps, and when I tried using only dixie cups they never got taller than 8 inches! You must have some sort of Godly marijuana growing power!

I'm pretty sure its easier to pull off with some well grown clones rather than seedlings.

The proof is in the pudding.
They are the best plants I've ever grown. There's a reason they are all the rage. If you smoked some of the bud he grew, you would realize why... 
It's one hit shit for me. I couldn't be any more envious of another grower. He has the experience of all the trusted cultivators combined, we'll leave it at that.
